This paper analyzes the Kenyan experience, looking at it from the point of view of the transnationalization thesis. This thesis suggests a model of social dynamism in the peripheral economies of the capitalist system in the contemporary world by which their dependence is restructured and strengthened and through which this dependence will ultimately be challenged. The aim is to determine, despite all the difficulties inherent in such an exercise, to what degree the evidence from Kenya supports the predictions of this model and whether the model of transnational capitalism and national disintegration moves reasonably well from Latin America to East Africa.
